Let's try to get support for this, it would rock:

https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/lists/suggestvenues.html

foursquare requires either :ll or :near to be specified. The gem forces a check on :ll presence in venue_proxy.rb so you cannot do :near searches. the code also fails since its expecting 'groups' returned while foursquare returns venues immediatelly.

I monkey patched it this way (extended the if statement and commented out what doesnt work)

def search(options={})
raise ArgumentError, "You must include :ll or :near" unless options[:ll] || options[:near]
#response = @foursquare.get('venues/search', options)["groups"].inject({}) do |venues, group|
venues = @foursquare.get('venues/search', options)
=begin
venues[group["type"]] ||= []
venues[group["type"]] += group["items"].map do |json|
Foursquare::Venue.new(@foursquare, json)
end
venues

  end

=end
end

Hello,
I am getting the following runtime error when running the foursquare example app from my localhost:

JSON::ParserError in SessionsController#callback
"A JSON text must at least contain two octets!"
app/controllers/sessions_controller.rb:10:in `callback'

Here is the first few lines of the framework trace:
"json (1.5.3) lib/json/common.rb:148:in initialize'

I have followed all the instructions in readme.md and still no results.
My callback url is: "http://localhost:3000/session/callback".

Any comment/ guidance will be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Foursquare will be using the latest API version by default starting Nov 7th.

http://groups.google.com/group/foursquare-api/browse_thread/thread/3862de3d953c5574

This means the venue search (which pulls by 'group') won't work anymore.
